A special but simple request for all our friends here, especially those who joined us more recently:

To avoid confusion, please make sure you post new threads in the appropriate section(s) of the forum, according to the topics of your threads.

For example, it often happens that threads dealing with more general/mental/theoretical/spiritual/sexual/etc related topics are being posted under the 'Practical Alchemy' section - which deals mainly with the lab aspects of Alchemy.

Yes, it's ALL practical, just as it is also spiritual and everything else... But we are really trying to make threads and posts easy to search and find, according to the main topics they are dealing with, for the sake of better clarity and easier orientation.

So please, read the above descriptions of the various sections and try to post your new threads accordingly. It may make things easier for the other forum members / readers.

Also, please don't be surprised if you find your thread has been moved to a more topic-appropriate section. It's only being done for ease of orientation.

Sometimes (very rarely) thread titles may also be slightly altered to better express the topic of the thread. Please READ THIS for further elaboration on this issue.
